GEE (G)- YOU (U) - EYE (I) or GOOEY

[GZ]

My wife and I had were having a little debate... I had mentioned that I was trying to create a simple GUI (GEE-YOU-EYE) using Visual Basic and Visual C++... She (the programmer) had to "correct" me and told me "What?... It's GOOEY"...

So, I did a quick google and found no discernable answer, so I figured I'd ask you all here...

Is it "GEE (G)- YOU (U) - EYE (I)" or "GOOEY"?

They are both the same.... You just learn to care less what others say :lolg:

I normally use GUI(G-U-I)...

I have multiple professors who will use one or the other but they are all talking about the same thing...

The only time I think naming really matters is when you are talking about a specific thing such as SQL...

However, even with that I use both SQL(S-Q-L) and sequel depend on the context.

Just stay true to your roots... people will know they are one and the same :grin1:

This is just a topic of debate between my wife and I... I will always use the phonetic spelling to describe it... She will always be gooey! :lol: We are very competitive!

 

[Laxer]

so....

is BASH(linux shell) BASH or B-A-S-H? :lol:

 

[GZ]

Yeah.... That's just "bash"!

 

[Laxer]

What about MBAM(malware bytes)

Its M-BAM to me :grin1:

I prefer saying "Graphical User Interface" so there is no misunderstanding by you [somewhat] younger guys. :lol:

 

[Laxer]

You prefer graphical user interface because you would misinterpret G.U.I. for something naughty.... :roll eyes (sarcasti

 

[jcgriff2]

I'm not old enough to know what you could possibly mean.

 

[Laxer]

In the words of my physics teacher...

See this?

That's the BS flag, and you are the one waving it.

 

[jcgriff2]

:lol:

 

[GZ]

I thought one of your kids hijacked your account for a minute!

 

[jcgriff2]

Thanks for letting me know.... Chase, 11, was playing games earlier.

He must have posted...

 

[Ninjaboi]

I'd say it doesn't matter, unless you do it out of context ( as the others have mentioned ).

 

[jcgriff2]

I always called it G--U--I

 

[Corrine]

I've always pronounced "GUI" as gooey, most likely because that was what was used at work. Conversely, I've always said S-Q-L and M-BAM.

1. How do you pronounce the President of the United States?
2. Director of the CIA?

 

[GZ]

...erm ... Obama and Mr. Petraeus...

It is definitely "Gooey" traditionally sorry to say lol. Wife is right (Damn it hey? hahah) I call it G-U-I instead of Gooey sometimes as well as I know it's what most others call it, but that's incorrect. Probably more accepted now that it's become more standard for people to call it G-U-I over Gooey though.
